Over time, that is. The "small sample size" idea needs to be kept in mind.
That's been my impression. If the game has deviated from this, it would be news to me. It would also seem to have been a conscious decision on the part of the designers, which I doubt. I also doubt that it would have gone unnoticed by them and beta testers.

It's also been pointed out by the developers and many of us who post that the set up, care and maintenance of two sim engines would be a complete waste of time and resources.
